Giants delight at record numbers

Excited Huddersfield Giants officials are celebrating record season ticket numbers, a 50% increase on the first three home gates and are planning to smash a new barrier ahead of Easter Monday's game at the Galpharm versus Salford Reds (7:30pm) which will see the home debut of star Aussie signing Michael De Vere.
The club began the 2005 campaign with a 57% increase in their season ticket base from the previous year and have now launched a mini ticket to co-incide with the debut of Michael De Vere.

Giants General Manager Richard Thewlis explained:

"The numbers pre-season were extremely encouraging and as part of the season ticket package, holders had vouchers for each of the first three games to enable them to bring a friend for a fiver. The uptake on these was good and has provided significant data regarding our "floating" support which we are now looking to capitalize on by offering a mini ticket for the next four Engage Super League games at the Galpharm which gives excellent savings."

"The expansion of our crowd remains a crucial issue and I am pleased to report that our aggregate crowds are 50% up on last year's corresponding fixtures. The debut of Michael De Vere next Monday has already captured the imagination and interest of the Huddersfield public and I would anticipate that we will soon be able to celebrate our 2000th season ticket holder - something the club has never previously achieved."
